When anarchism isn't being villified as evil it's being dismissed with an eyeroll by people who think they know better. But in Minneapolis, we're seeing the power of this maligned philosophy.

Minneapolis Shows Us Anarchism at Work — Assigned
The trans community should look to Minneapolis as an example of how leaderless, bottom-up organizing can be more powerful than traditional politics in making change.

BREAKING: WIN 🏳️⚧️ 💥
The High Court just refused Sex Matters' permission to ban trans women from the Hampstead ponds. We're relieved that the ponds can remain a place where trans people have always belonged.
Thank you to the all the people that pushed back against division.

Fr this tool has produced some real delight in my life this year. Super easy to carry, a rachet when working on smaller bikes or building furniture with tight corners is super useful, and it's only just over 100g. Very pocket friendly. Always stoked to use it. www.topeak.com/global/en/pr...

Once again tapping my sign: ICE exist in the UK 🚨 They have had arrest powers since 2000. This government - not a hypothetical future one - is working harder than ever before to raid homes and businesses.

Join The Greens, pals. The only Left left 💚
Starmer and Co are truly pathetic. They really don’t care about what’s for Britain. They just want to lock in their right leaning agenda for another 3 years then swan off to riches Blair style while they hand over the country Reform. Weak.
NEW: Andy Burnham blocked for standing in the Denton by-election.
8-1 against.
Lucy Powell only vote in favour.

Top tip: if the word ‘DAVOS’ is in the background of a speech, even if the words sound nice, the speaker has zero interest in actually changing anything.

i don't know how you could watch a video of minnesotans strugging to protect their neighbours and entertain an idea like "I hope americans are ready to be hated". If you can't see yourself in their fight, draw strength from it, stand in solidarity, how can you possibly fight fascism anywhere else
